I thought of ways to die that might be painless afterall... does it work???

way 1 : take sleeping pills and as soon as u feel the sleepyness inside you, drink the antispetic dettol cleaning liquid and u will die painlessly.

way 2: tell a random very poor person that is desparate for money to help kill you, what u do is first tell him/her ur going to take a sleeping pill, and as soon as i fall asleep throw me off the building and will get the all my money transfered to u if u do it.........

For about a year now my grandfather has been having these attacks...Where his sugar or diabetes level goes really low and he's completely out of it. He talks out of his head [saying random things], incoherent, hard to understand, yells alot, and in his recent attack he kept talking about his deceased brother...Saying "he was coming to see him". He had his latest attack early this morning he was screaming and vomiting and hard to manage. We slipped a peppermint in his mouth [it usually gets his diabetes level back to normal when it goes too low] he kept spitting it out and it took hours to get him back to his normal state...Is it just because his sugar level is low or is it something else? He goes to the doctor regularly and they've never discovered anything...What should I do? After his blood sugar level goes back to normal so does he but he doesn't remember the attack at all...Plus he's loosing weight and he eats alot...What could be wrong? Help please?

I had a second appointment with him today. The first appointment went great. I thought he was a little on the wierd side but was friendly enough. All in all I left feeling that I was in good hands. I should mention that it was at the Health Science Center and he had a PA shadowing him. The second meeting was today and it was like a different doctor. He was alone and it was a horrible experience. It was like my lips were moving, but he couldn't hear me. He did not listen to any of my concerns. he diagnosed me with Fibromialgia, told me I would be in pain for the rest of my life and there was no medicine available for it. At one point I was actually crying, my husband was getting angry and Dr. Ratnoff looked at me like I was crazy. He said ..."have you been feeling weepy lately?' My husband and I just got up and left, me in tears, him very red faced... we just walked away from him because we didn't know what else to do. Has anyone else had a similar experience with him?

I have a mole on my…private part. Not on the outside but on the inside. I’m 14 years old and I really think I should get it checked…but I’m sort of self conscious. I don’t really like stripping down in front of people and I sort of don’t want to show my parents…if you know what I mean. What should I do?

If someone had breast cancer and went into remission for two years, then found out she had cancer in her lymph nodes...
What are the chances that this cancer is the same strain as the previous cancer? Also what are the possibilities that it is a completely different strain? What tends to be the case in most patients?

A long time ago the doctor said not to take Halls cough drops, becuase I have a heart condition know as Cardiomyopothy, basically weakness of the heart muscle which causes the heart to fail. I don't remember why they said I can't take it, but I have a bad cough and it is the only thing that seems to help with me. Does anyone know why they would tell me not to take it?
